  34.    Can you read?  Kermit does come with some documentation.
  35. I've showed the command I used to build it.  It does not come
  36. with pre-built VMS IA64 executables, so if you can't compile
  37. anything, then you may need to look for more help.

  41.  
  42.    I believe that the latest V9.0 kit will work (better, if
  43. you replace that one C file).

  46.  
  47.    If you say so.

  54.    Why not use something like FTP?
  55.  
  56.    I'd be a little amazed if you can find any working %modem
  57. software for VMS IA64, so, from that list, I'd think that
  58. Kermit would be your best chance.
